Our reading

The speaker connects the arrival of snow with someone's presence and takes its continuation as a sign that he remains nearby. The reasoning gives the weather a personal meaning. Ending with dancing turns that belief into a continuing relationship with a memory, expressed through an ordinary physical pleasure.
